How to become a PeakSaver?

To save money with PeakSave Gold Sundays and Super Saturdays, Britons will need to be a British Gas customer, have a smart electricity meter and register for the PeakSave scheme.

To be part of the PeakSave scheme, customers must fill out a form on the British Gas website.

Customers should check if they have the right meter (a smart meter that makes PeakSave work) before registering. British Gas will alert customers by email within 7-10 days if they're good to go.

There is no need for savers to opt into each one as PeakSavers are automatically included.

The winning PeakSaver will be notified by September 4 via email or phone.
